diffuser off rocks so far!!

tried it on a sample piece i was making and thought it was an easier stream and controlled powder loss better.

Have you never cleaned your gun? The diffuser threads on, and the metal charge thing inside will slide out. Sometimes needs pliers to pull it out. Also the Flush air mix screw needs to be removed and cleaned. The gun MUST be taken apart after every use and thoroughly cleaned to ensure that the next color you spay wont have specks from the last color in it. I use a long skinny screwdriver and shove a rag inside the barrel to get deep inside.
